TAMASHA is a temporary title for a long term dialogue that katerina and setareh had in the past years. This dialogue is nomadic and wanders through places, contexts and articulations.

As a practice TAMASHA engages with
wondering, walking and gazing at/in a view,
where
while moving and framing,
image is seen in its ephemerality
and what is left out of the frame
is imagined constantly.

TAMASHA invites multiple gazes and welcomes screens.

We propose
skin as a surface
space as a skin
screen as a space.
